We certainly have enough of them in the news lately: Donald Trump, Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey. All of them persistently antisocial, with impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, egotistical traits; cold and calculating, and sometimes even charming; callous and manipulative.
Who else would you think fits this bill among celebrities? I would guess:
Mel Gibson
Roseanne Barr
Sean Penn
Madonna
O.J. (of course)

Madonna? Really? She's been 30 years in the business, hardly drinks, does not take drugs, raises children, never been in rehab. Hardly sounds like a psychopath to me.

The same is true of Trump, and you didn't defend his name being on this list.

You could say practically the same things about John List before he murdered his wife and children.
Being a psychopath has nothing whatsoever to do with drinking or taking drugs, or with not having children.

Some of the ones you named are not psychopaths but sociopaths. Psychopaths can control themselves better, can fake decency when they need to, can go many years pulling the wool over people. People like Trump and Weinstein are more likely sociopaths who were protected by the industry. Kevin Spacey may be a psychopath, maybe Madonna-she has some characteristics.

Madonna strikes me as more of a narcissist than a sociopath, although you can have traits of more than one personality disorder at a time

Trump and List might be a lot of things but neither is/was a psychopath. Get over it.
So List killed his entire family. He thought of all of the angles and finally decided, since he was going bankrupt and would have to sell the house, and lose his position in his church, to kill his family and start over again. It's not like he went on a killing binge afterward for the rest of his life. He started anew and did a pretty damn good job with the rest of his life. He was selfish, that is all.
Trump is just an egotistical, serial lying fool.
Madonna? She's tenacious, cunning, smart and talented. A psycho? Really? Let's dispense with the over-reaching terms here.

Ok, here is the dictionary definition:
"a mental disorder in which an individual manifests amoral and antisocial behavior, lack of ability to love or establish meaningful personal relationships, extreme egocentricity, failure to learn from experience, etc."
And that does indeed exactly fit:
Donald Trump
Harvey Weinstein
Kevin Spacey
Wikipedia provides almost exactly the same definition.

You make it sound like it was okay he just murdered his wife and children.

Basically the same traits. Psychopaths just more extreme with no conscience and sociopaths with a teeny tiny widdle conscience that doesn't really affect its behavior anyway.
Trying to analyze who and who isn't when you don't know them is ridiculous. Are you just naming celebs you don't like?

R8 has confused psychopath for sociopaths. Psychopaths are very agressive and unstable, sociopaths will mimic certain "human" behaviors to fit in as long as "fitting in" adheres to their agenda. A sociopath will pick a personality and BE that.

Some if you are confusing possible psychopaths with possible (undoubtedly) narcissists. Not all personality disorders are the sane!
While evil fuckballs like Weinstein and Spacey nay we'll be sociopaths or psychopaths, it's much more typical for celebrities to have symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. I'd put Madonna, Jolie, Sharon Stone, Mel Gibson, Taylor Seift, and just about every other entertainer you ever heard of.

from the wikipedia page on "psychopathy":
[quote] Psychopathy, sometimes considered synonymous with sociopathy, is traditionally defined as a personality disorder[1] characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, egotistical traits. Different conceptions of psychopathy have been used throughout history. These conceptions are only partly overlapping and may sometimes be contradictory.[2]

A lot of the people listed here are Narcissists or have Bipolar issues (possibly concurrent to underlying narcissism or other psych issues or even substance abuse which can further mask other conditions/diagnosis). Let me add one here though for Narcissist Supreme: Kris Jenner.

Vince McMahon Jnr. has to be a narcissist at the very least, and probably that comorbid with something else nasty & dangerous. He manages to charm investors & workers into joining his exploitative company nonetheless? Perhaps that's sociopathic..
Iirc one of the former/recently retired top stars in WWE mentioned in one shoot interview that Vince "gets off on the fear" his employees have of him and loves firing people or dressing them down in public.
Then again, what's one bent straw atop a haystack full of them? The wrestling business is a full barrel of carnies anyway, they likely wouldn't stand for a leader with a semblance of normalcy (Shane, this is why you aren't inheriting shit).

^ Trump doesn't drink or take drugs nor has he ever been in rehab. That doesn't mean he's not crazy. My mother "raised" five kids, never drank or used drugs and was never in rehab. She is a diagnosed psychopath. A horrible person. Personal experience taught me that most psychopaths try to appear normal. Not all of them but most put on an act, imitate normal and try to appear normal (except to those they live or work with) in order to fool and deceive outsiders. Its a big part of their game.
